Figgro, a leading Cannabis Cloud Technology Platform, has announced its sponsorship of the MJ Unpacked Social Impact Scholarship Program in partnership with Our Academy. This move is a significant step towards promoting social equity in the cannabis industry, which has been marred by the war on drugs and systemic inequalities.
Our Academy is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides workshops, mentorship programs, and open educational resources to individuals impacted by the War on Drugs, including equity applicants and legacy operators. The organization aims to help these individuals succeed in the cannabis industry and promote diversity and inclusion in the sector.
The MJ Unpacked Social Impact Scholarship Program, on the other hand, seeks to support and promote social equity in the cannabis industry by providing financial assistance to individuals and organizations committed to social justice and equity initiatives. The program offers scholarships to equity applicants, social equity organizations, and other initiatives aimed at promoting diversity and inclusion in the industry.
Through its sponsorship of the program, Figgro is taking an important step towards supporting social equity in the cannabis industry. The company recognizes that the cannabis sector has a long history of discrimination and systemic inequality, which has disproportionately affected marginalized communities. By partnering with Our Academy and supporting the MJ Unpacked Social Impact Scholarship Program, Figgro is demonstrating its commitment to promoting social justice and equity in the cannabis industry.
Figgro’s Cofounder Marc Wells, commented on the partnership, stating, “We are proud to be a part of this initiative, which is aimed at creating a more equitable and just cannabis industry. Our sponsorship of the MJ Unpacked Social Impact Scholarship Program in partnership with Our Academy reflects our commitment to supporting diversity and inclusion in the sector, and we look forward to working with Our Academy and other partners to make a meaningful difference.”
In conclusion, Figgro’s sponsorship of the MJ Unpacked Social Impact Scholarship Program in partnership with Our Academy is an important step towards promoting social equity in the cannabis industry. The company’s commitment to supporting diversity and inclusion in the sector is commendable, and we hope that other players in the industry will follow suit. With continued efforts like these, we can work towards creating a more equitable and just cannabis industry for all.
